STL support in Ruby

Question

Anyone heard of a good standard template library in Ruby? Or any wrapper exists?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you are referring to something like the C++ STL, then this is largely built in to Ruby already. Ruby has a large suite of basic data structures and other utilities.

Answer 2

As in, C/C++ STL support? All of the functionality is there. You have Strings, Integers (can take on any value, not limited to 2³² (int), 2⁶⁴ (long), etc.), Arrays, Hashes and etc. When you want a Queue or a Stack just use an array using the push, pop, delete_at(0). Iterations can be done with

some_array.each { |x| 
    #some action
}
